Halo 3. ODST Midnight Release

22/09/2009

Well, in case you didn’t know this I work over at the Best Buy in Saginaw, MI. Great store, great friends, and all around fun place. Last night I had the opportunity to work during the midnight release of Halo 3: ODST. By 10pm we had a nice line outside our doors. It was cool.

We had a small contest as well, giving ten fans the chance to fight it out (1 on 1, Halo 3) for the chance of a free copy of the game. Took awhile longer then we thought, but still, it was awesome. Everything went great except for when player 4 decided to get on top of the map. Two “Get off”‘s later he lost, the final fight netting player 9 win the game. Very sweet.

I can’t wait for the chance to work another midnight release. COD5 comes out soon…Yay.

If you wanna see a picture with the Best Buy crew and the winner, stop on by the store some time, we have it playing on the TV near the front.

Now to wait a few more days to get the game myself!

Working at Best Buy

26/05/2009

Summed up in one word, GREAT! Compaired to working with food…which is what I have done with my other jobs, selling computer (and accessories) is awesome. Just like any job, there is the hassel of training, learning now rules, and all that jazz. But personally, Best Buy is the kind of job I have wanted since I started looking for jobs. First of all there is the fact that I get to use all of the knowlege I have gained and such from hunting for my own use, looking for parts and such, to help others. I talk to several people a day that know next to nothing about computers, except whats on sale, and what they want. I get to help these people find the right machine for what they do, what they need, and everything.

All and all, I am happy. Now to save up, and wait to start at SVSU in August!
